The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 66

Gavin’s choice to not unite with me is a bit difficult to accept, but I understand why he’s doing it. I can’t fault the guy for wanting to make sure that the woman he mates is all on board with him, and not thinking of anyone else, especially a certain Alpha. I hate that I have both the men I love feeling the way they do. Maybe I’m not meant to be with anyone and that’s why the Goddess Selene didn’t give me a mate.

Walking over to the stack of gifts that I received last night, I begin to open them, making sure to write down who gave me what, so I can send out Thank You cards later. I’m about two-thirds of the way through when I come across a long thin box. My heart rate. picks up because I can scent him on the gift and Tala begins to pace. I lift it to my nose and inhale; for some odd reason, his scent calms both me and my wolf.

Smiling softly to myself, I unwrap the box and open it slowly, gasping when I do. Inside, lies a gold locket with my pack’s emblem on the front of it, along with my initials. When I turn it over, the Storm River pack emblem is on it as well, with an engraving that says, ‘We Will Always Be Family’. I wipe the stray tear away and open up the locket. Another gasp escapes me, as I look at a miniature photo of the painting that Gavin had done, on one side, and a photo of me, Declan, and Amelia on the other side. It was taken a few months after I had turned seventeen, when life was good again.

I close my eyes as I fist the locket in my hand, why can’t life be easy? The better question is why can’t love be easy? In all honesty, I’m beginning to think that I love both Gavin and Declan the same. How is that possible, and how can I tell Gavin that even though I

want him as my chosen, I still love his cousin just as much as I love him?

Tala needs to run, and I need to get out of this stuffy office as well. Making sure I remove all my jewelry and place it in the office safe, I leave through the back door, so it’s less chance of being seen by

anybody. I know I’m breaking a promise in not taking a warrior or somebody else with me, but I need to be alone. My eyes sweep the back yard, and once I know that we are in the clear, I let Tala take over. She has us flying over the forest ground in a speed in which I’m not used to.

‘Tala, slow down!’ I lecture her.

‘Stop worrying so much, Quinn, I can handle it!’ She scoffs at me.

‘Since when are we able to run this fast, Tala?’

‘Once you turned eighteen, we have slowly been getting stronger and faster, in case you haven’t noticed.’ My wolf rolls her eyes at me as she snickers.

‘I’ve noticed the strength, but I thought it’s from training.”

‘It may be, as well as your speed. You also need to take into account that you are an Alpha now as well.’ She reminds me.

I hadn’t thought of that, and then I giggle, ‘Man, Cici is going to be pi*sed that she won’t be winning anymore races in wolf form either.’

‘I think we can allow her to win a few every once in a while.’ Tala smirks.

I’m about to respond when one of my warriors links me to warn me that we have a breach between the northern and western border, which is right where we are at. All of a sudden, I’m tumbling

over and over when something rams into our side.

Getting back up, we smell the stench of rogue right away. Tala growls ferociously at the big disgusting wolf who has positioned itself in front of us, baring his teeth. Tala snarls and lunges at him, but he’s

quick to back off. Something isn’t right here; I can feel it. Letting my senses span out, I sense that there are at least ten rogues all together.

‘Tala, we need to leave, now! We can’t take them all!’

‘I can hold them off while you call for help, but I don’t think they plan on letting us go anywhere, Quinn.’

I send out a mind link to every warrior and my Beta. I also send a separate one to Quinn, ‘Please tell Gavin and Declan that I’m sorry for not listening.’

‘Wait, what? Why are you needing me to tell them…are you okay?’ When I don’t respond, I hear my best friend scream my name, ‘QUINN!’

My attention is on the scene in front of me now. Five other rogues are circling around us, ‘Tala, do something!’

‘Don’t you think I know this? I can only do so much at this time though, I need to be careful, and plan it just right.’

All I can do is sit back and wait, ‘Maybe if we change back, I can beat them in my human form. I’m much stronger now, Tala.’

‘NO! Do not switch with me! You need me now, more than ever…’

The first rogue lunges at us and Tala’s jaw latches onto its neck. Whipping her head back and forth long after she’s already broken the wolf’s neck, she growls and flings the limp body at two others. In the meantime, both Spencer and Cam have linked me saying

that they will be here as soon as possible.

One of the rogues sneaks up behind us and takes a bite out of our hind leg, causing Tala to snarl and whip around to face it. Our beautiful silver fur is now covered in the blood of a rogue, but we don’t pay any attention to that as we lunge at the one who bit us. He doesn’t stand a chance as he rears up, opening his chest area up for a perfect target. Tala brings her paw down, her razor-sharp claws out and ready to impale the rogue’s chest and tear his heart out, but then there are multiple stings as darts find their target into our back side.

‘Wolfsbane! I’m sorry, Quinn, but I can no longer help you. Please… take care of yourself.’

I can feel Tala getting weaker as we fall to the ground, and I send out one last link, ‘They’ve shot us with wolfsbane… There are nine of them left… I’m sorry…’ It’s all I can get out before all goes black.

I’m jerked awake by water being poured over my face. I can’t move away because I’m chained to a bed in a damp cell. Of course, I don’t have a stitch of clothing on because why would they dress their prisoner in clothing? I am relieved to see that it’s a she-wolf who is the one trying to drown me and not a male.

My body is stiff from Goddess knows what, and Tala is sleeping peacefully in her little corner, so I’m really not sure what I should do. I try speaking but my throat is dry, and I sound a bit croaky. It doesn’t matter, though, because the she-wolf is ignoring me anyway as she scrubs me down with soapy water. I’m now noticing the plastic that is covering the mattress that I’m lying on.

“Please, tell me who your Alpha is.” I croak out.

The woman glares at me and continues to scrub my skin

abrasively. She’s beginning to rub me raw, and I move away as much as I can and growl out at her, “I think it’s clean! You can move on to the next area.”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

It is only now that she finally says something to me, but I’m wishing she had remained quiet, “Alpha wants you at your cleanest for when he comes to you. He w*ll n*t f*ck you when you’re dirty.”

I freeze momentarily, “Who is your Alpha?”

“Do not be concerned with that. He is now your Alpha, too. You will no longer be referred to as Alpha Quinn; you are to be his s*ave, so you better get used to it.”

“Why me?” I’m not going to lie; I’m scared out of my f*cking mind, but I will not show them that weakness. I will take everything they do to me, if I have to, but I will survive it all. I have a pack that needs me and a man that’s waiting for me.

“I asked him that as well because he has me for all his needs, but now I have to share him with you! All he says is that you are meant to be his.”

“I was meant to be his?”

“Yes, Quinn,” his voice causes both me and the other she-wolf to jump, “You were supposed to be my Luna, and now I have you back.”

I let out a loud gasp, “Jasper…”
